I saw it, but scene setting on a FF compact camera that cost $2800? Really? Are they serious?

Even stranger, it's a fixed lens camera! If there is to be a Pentax FF--I could see myself buying one in the right circumstances, but it's not as important to me as it is to some--the sensor will have to be made by someone. That someone would probably be Sony; so--correct me if I'm wrong--this could be good news for Pentax shooters who covet an FF camera.

The Sony RX1 at $2800 is near the price of other FF cameras. Is the small size worth the tradeoff of never being able to change focal length? Not for me but a specialized camera like this might be a godsend for some street photographers. I am satisfied with APS-C.
